Question

Which of the following is an equivalent form of the mixed number -12 3/4?

A) 45/5
B) -51/4
C) -45/4
D) -48/4

Answer 1

b is the most reasonable answer. -12 times 4 is -48 plus -3. That's a total of -51/4

Answer 2

B. 51/4 Since 12 multiplied by 4 is 48 and then you add the 3 from the 3/4 and then put the negative sign to make it negative.
